Amino Acid HGH Releasers - the Pill and Powder Products

All the non-prescription human growth hormone supplements that are digested; the pills, capsules, tablets, and powders are called releasers. They may also be called secretagogues, enhancers, precursors, or stimulators. Such products are dietary supplements that are regulated by the FDA's food laws.

The main ingredients in the HGH releasers are amino acids, and some also contain vitamins and herbs such as ginseng.

HGH Releaser Sprays

Due to the great popularity and effectiveness of HGH sprays over the years, there are now some spray products that contain amino acids, vitamins, herbs, etc., in homeopathic amounts.

These types of sprays contain no homeopathic human growth hormone (the only form of HGH contained in any non-injection product).

The Ingredients Contained in HGH Releasers

As previously stated the main ingredients in the higher quality pill and powder products are amino acids.

Amino acids are nothing new. Bodybuilders and athletes have been taking the same amino acids in dietary supplements for many years, long before there were any HGH products, and they still take those same amino acids daily.

We receive amino acids in common foods, and in various health supplements and protein powders.

As previously stated, many of the releaser type products contain vitamins, especially the B vitamins. Other ingredients commonly found in these products are herbs such as ginseng.

We know the B vitamins and ginseng can provide benefits such as increased energy, so it may be that these ingredients are added to a product to make it appear to be more effective.

For instance, increased energy is one of the most popular benefits of increasing human growth hormone in the body, so if the person taking such a product has an increase in energy he may think that his HGH level is increasing, when in reality he is only experiencing the benefits of vitamins and/or ginseng.

Some amino acids do play a role in the release of HGH, however, because we receive amino acids in food and in other supplements, before taking any releaser customers should check the exact ingredients in the product so they can make sure the product does not contain ingredients they are already taking in other supplements.

The amino acids that may be used in releasers:

Arginine
Glutamine
Ornithine
Glycine
Lysine
OKG (L-ornithine Alpha-Ketoglutarate)
Tryptophan

Those wishing to supplement their amino acid and vitamin intake may do so affordably at their local health food store.

In my case, besides the foods I eat I also receive amino acids from the protein powder I take daily, but I would not depend upon amino acids alone for my anti-aging therapy.

I have spoken to numerous people who have tried the amino acid releasers over these past 9 years and of those who said they received benefits many said the benefits only lasted for 2-3 months and then faded away. It seemed that their body became accustomed to having more amino acids and so adjusted itself.

I believe optimum benefits are received by taking HGH Plus IGF-1 & IGF-2 while also ensuring the body has the needed building blocks, which are the vitamins, minerals, and amino acids the body needs to actually build the new healthy cells the HGH will ask it to build.
